The ROM-COM PLAYBOOK

With junior prom fast approaching, the very single Super Squad––Rome, Kadden, Theo, and Irene––brazenly decides the surest way to get dates is to recreate quintessential rom-com moments. From When Harry Met Sally… to Love, Simon, they try them all, quickly realizing the “com” comes easier than the “rom.” A boombox serenade might get you chased with a shovel, a grand musical gesture could turn you into a cheerleader, having your friends play Cyrano could land you an epically bad date, and kissing in the rain is muddy.

As the moves backfire, the inseparable quartet doubles down on absurd behavior, pushing them further away from romance and each other. The squad fights for the first time ever, forcing each of them to decide what’s most important: first dates or best friends. If they don’t figure it out by prom night, being dateless won’t be the only way they’re alone.
